President Barack Obama announced yesterday that he feels the U.S. has "largely achieved its goals in Afghanistan," and he'll be expediting the process of pulling out troops from the country.

According to Obama, the "tide of war is receding," Afghanistan is no longer a terrorist threat to the U.S., and he believes that we must "focus on nation-building here at home."

Based on his plan,

Well, so much for that!

Although Gwyneth Paltrow had been rumored to open some of her Glee co-star Matthew Morrison's upcoming solo shows, the actress has reportedly pulled out of the gig, claiming that it would be "bad" for her image?

A source explains:

"Gwyneth thought it would be bad for her image to go off on a US tour. She pulled out and Matthew has cancelled a number of his gigs. But he is still planning to come to London in June and they have plans to go out to dinner. She's not ruling out performing with him in the future."

And her spokesperson confirms:

"There are no plans for her to tour with Matthew. There were requests for her to perform at a few events but nothing was ever confirmed."

WTF? Bad for her image?

We didn't realize that performing a few songs would so deeply tarnish her GOOPy reputation! We suppose her wellness followers would just have NONE of it!

LOLz!

Bizarre!

Whatevs, though! He gets to tour with NKOTBSB, so we're sure he'll get over it pretty fast!

Uh-oh.

Stephen King's The Dark Tower hasn't even gone into production and it's already having some setbacks.

The studio behind the movie, Universal, is said to be having second thoughts on their plan on go forward on the film.

The movie was set to expand into a trilogy and two TV series, but it seems that the failure of some recent Universal films, such as Land of the Lost, Robin Hood, The Wolfman, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, have made the studio think twice before heading into such an epic and costly project.

If Universal does decide to pull out of the trilogy, then director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer will have to shop the movie around, which would definitely delay its May 17, 2013 release.

Maybe this will be a blessing in disguise? Universal may not be equipped to adapt the film in a way that will not disappoint fans.

Even though the movie will be huge and extremely costly to make, it seems that it will need to find a studio that will know how to market the film to the general public. We're not sure if Universal was the right choice.

Hmm, we don't know…

What do U think? Should Universal pass??

Better find a REALLY good replacement! Or lower ticket prices ASAP!

Enrique Iglesias has abruptly pulled out of Brit Brit's North America tour, mere hours after the tour was officially announced!

He was slated to perform as the ultimate opening act for Britney, but now it looks like they'll have to find someone else.

Good for him! Given the absurd prices that they're charging for tickets, perhaps he thought better of it all.

Hopefully they can find someone good to replace Enrique. At $96 - $346, Britney is going to need to REALLY impress her fans to convince them to throw down SO much $$$ to go see her.

…Maybe she can convince NSYNC to reunite solely to join her on tour! If she can pull that off, then MAYBE we'd say those ticket prices are justified! Ha!

Who do U think they should bring on to replace Enrique on Britney's tour?

And the saga continues!

Last night's episode of Skins will mark the last time an ad for Proactiv airs during its 10pm time slot on MTV, as the company has announced today that they will be the ninth major sponsor to pull out of the show!

Kendra Elliot, Vice President of Media for its manufacturer, Guthy-Renker, reveals:

"We have officially requested that MTV revise our traffic schedule so that Proactiv spots cease airing during Skins. As a direct marketer, our media buying strategy is programming agnostic. We work with the networks and buy across the broadcast day, vs. selecting specific shows. So, while our spots may air inside a particular program, it is not representative of our specific desire to support the programming and content of that particular show. MTV’s programming changes constantly and many of the shows are repeats."

Wow.

By next week, this mess isn't going to have anything to air during commercial breaks! And they're already littered mostly with previews for Teen Mom 2!

Not a good sign!

Oh well!

Thoughts??
